Global Warming and Climate Change} Mankind has caused many changes to the planet!

Mankind has caused many changes to the planet, but much less than life itself has! But mankind has and can continue to learn, which nature can not do. Nature, ( life ) can only respond to conditions, that it finds itself in. Only by looking back in time, going all the way to the first signs of life on this planet, and then going forward slowly looking at how both plant life and the make-up of the atmosphere that the plant's respiration has partially produced, are inter-connected. What we will see, is a very slow change to both atmospheric gases and their concentrations, and the plant life, that can adapt and continue to evolve. Though-out the long history of life on this planet, change has been the one constant, not the change mankind thinks about that we see in our lifetime, but the usual, unbelievably slow pace of life, that can take 100,000 years as in an ice age, to million's of years, as in plate tectonics. Mankind thinks of evolution as a very slow process that takes thousands of years, which can be true, many species of sharks have remained unchanged for such periods of time! But when pressure is put upon a species, change comes quickly and mankind has put such pressure on almost every type of domesticated animal, and plants both for food production and ornamental. This does not come at no cost or without unintended consequences, look at antibiotic and antimicrobial-resistant diseases. The same can be seen in herbicides to remove unwanted plants from both ornamental and food crops. You have to wonder about changes to animal life that happens when the planet enters into long periods of glaciation, most inter-glaciation period on the average only last 10,000 years and yet most of the animals that we think of as living in the glaciation period are already extinct or so greatly changed in size and appearance as to be no longer the same species as we have now. In the last, 2.5 million years did this happen every time the planet when into, and then out, of such a glaciation cycle? And if so how much change in both plant and animal life was there. Every species of life on this planet has to learn how to survive in an ever-changing eco-system, the changes that mankind has imposed on these systems, need to be challenged so as to not put any more stress, then need be on life!

Global Warming and Climate Change} Lost of available carbon vs. too much C02 in atmosphere!

Global Warming and "The life cycle of a planet" By Daniel Kadavy  402-890-7946  Cortland Nebraska                                                                                                                                                                                                                The planet is running out of carbon, which is the mainstay of all life on the planet! Something has to be done to mitigate this. And yet Global Warming is changing ...

503 DIII Humanity is the only species that have to pay to live and survive. while there are a few exceptions to this rule, they are few and far between!

What does that say about how we live? It means that we have very little say in most aspects of our lives if we wish to live in a house, we must pay for that privilege with taxes, energy, insurance, maintenance, and keeping the standards that each place puts upon the owners, cutting grass, moving snow, and so many other requirements to fall within acceptable parameters of society! We must obey laws we may disagree with, nor have any input in their adoption or application! While there are many different arrangements of governments around the world, even the ones that are voted in or out of power by the masses are never truly fair in explaining to their constituents what they are going to attempt to do if elected! Yet this is the world we live in while we attempt to understand what 3.5 billion years of carbon sequestration have forced our planet to go through, including almost every single extinction event that has occurred in the history of our planet!  So the problem that we face is...

CCLXXIV Global Warming and Climate Change} Let's talk more, about the 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon, that is left for all life on the planet!

First, how do scientist's come up with around 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon left on the planet? Some of the amounts can be directly measured, how much there is in the atmosphere is one of the most researched numbers on the planet! That figure of 415 parts per million equals around 800 gigatonnes of carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide. 560 gigatonnes in plant and animal life are based on both satellite images for how much plant life is on the planet during the year and measurements that were taken by hundreds of people every year all around the planet. How much soil carbon, is taken by averaging soil carbon from all over the globe this amount is said to be 1,500 gigatonnes. The amount of "fossil Fuels" is the amount of "known" reserves found by mainly oil accompanying who has been looking as far and fast as they can, that amount is estimated at 4,000 gigatonnes (The carbon sequestrated in fossil fuels would only become available if mankind continues to ...
